Makes sense to me (apart from the fact that only a tiny fraction of users out there use a homeserver that actually supports QR code login :man_shrugging:).
I have added the string screen_qr_code_login_initial_state_subtitle
to localazy (@element-hq/element-x-ios-reviewers)
For visibility. It was confirmed that the desired changes on EW take more effort (and can't be released as part of the security release) due to the fact that we can't simply un-lab all the functionality (and need to do it just for the QR code parts).
Since it is now known that this is overall feasible (just delayed by a week), I proposed we continue with the release of EX as planned (e.g. showing the QR code login button), given we have a warning/hint that it needs to be supported by the account provider.

Description
Currently the scanning the QR code with EX and showing the QR code on EW device for login are only available on the nightly builds. The reason for that is that MAS (which is a prerequisite for the QR code login) is not yet available in most homeservers.
However, it is assumed that deploying MAS on various homeservers will span across a long period of time (and some homeservers may not ever get it), it is desired to make it more clear for the users that this function depends on something their homeserver does not (yet) have.
In iterations with @amshakal @americanrefugee we landed on the following:
This would allow us to release the QR code login in the publish/production versions.
